A WATCH AND A WOMAN.

A watch and woman are strangely akin!
To prove what say I'll quickly begin.
She's nicely adjusted to heat and TO cold.
To win her, be modest yet sufficiently bold.
When her handspring is love- she's true as the
steel
Your gold is alleged she has The true ring,
OF the metal unmixt with a spurious thing,
OF delicate form-not made to be shaken
If you think twill help her, you're greatly mis-
taken.
The jewels she has are her virtue and truth,
Gems that don't tarnish like poor fleeting
youth.
Her hands are quite slender, but point with re-
proach,
When "late at lodge" you roll home in a coach.
Don't do it, her face will soon be bright
AS star peeping through the curtain of night.
Never let her run down, in spirits or health,
Think OF her always as part of yourself,
Do as / tell you-she'll perfect time keep
Till the works are hushed in the last peaceful
sleep

Management Of Raan.

The first work performed by the bees
when the weather permits them TO come
out OF the hive is to clean out the filth and
accumulations OF the winter. Dead bees
are thrown out, and every portion of the
hive is put in order for the labor of the
coming season. 1t is very important that
the colonies be very large and numerous.
A good, strong colony Is worth three or
four weak ones. The profits from bee
keeping depend partly upon the skill OF
the manager. Bees can not make honey
unless they have the honey-producing
plants to work upon, and the result de.

A DRUslK KEN HUSBANDS DEED
He Murders His Wife and Puts a Bullet
Through His Own Brain.


WATERFOWL, N. Y, May ga horrible
tragedy occurred last evening at Nichol-
vile, st. Lawrence County. Charles Nor
row, resident Of that village, came home
intoxicated, and at the supper table began
abusing his wife. This was no uncommon
thing, as Morrow, when drunk, was vic.
lently and uniustly jealous of his wife, and
had made her life a burden by beating and
abusing her most outrageously during the
past few months. Many times lately Mrs.
Morrow has been obliged to leave her four
small children with her brute of husband
and fly to the neighbors for safety, because
he threatened to take her life. Last night
she again fed from the house, fearing vio-
lence. Her husband followed her out on
the street and drawing revolver shot her
in the back of the neck as she ran. He
then placed the revolver to his head and
put bullet through his brain. Mrs. Nor
row died within an hour. Her husband
died several hours later.

WASHING TON LETTER.

From our regular correspondent.
There is a strong proba bility that
the President on his return will call
an extra session of Congress. His
trip to the great west has given him
enlarged ideas of the grandeur and
magnitude Of the country over which
he providentially presides. If he
had taken that trip years ago he
would have been a wiser man, and
the country would have been saved
vast amount of financial trouble
and anxiety. There is time yet for
him to atone for the neglect of his
education of earlier years, and if he
returns with the thought that the
Presidency of great Nation means
something more than mere political
chicanery, the time and expense of
his trip will be of small account.
The evidence is thoroughly con
elusive that the President had his
speeches prepared in advance, print
ed at the Government Printing Of
fee, and took them away in sheets
ready to be discharged at the various
cities he intended TO visit. The
proof is abundant and Mr.. Ceve-
land must face it.
The Government Printing Office
is the regular bee hive of Washing
ton. 1t is the largest printing es
adjustment in the world--belng 800
feet long, $50 feet wide, and four
stories high. All the public docu-
ments are printed here, and all the
modern inventions to facilitate rapid
work are here in use. There are
about $500 employed in the build
ing, and the volumes issued each
year reach thousands of tons in
weight and millions of copies. 1t is
great treat to visit the establish

At the National Observatory they
have a wonderful instrument known
as the "Great Equatorial Telescope"
which weighs $780, 900 pounds. A
sight through that, some clear moon
light evening, is worth a trip to

declare the glory Of God, and the
armament showeth his handiwork."
The observatory is under the direc-
ton of the Navy Department, and
ranks with the foremost in the world.
Its library is very large aad choice,

PLACE MEN ON THEIR HONOR
No man is acquitted of his obliga-
ton to pay debt because the claim
against him is outlawed. After a
debt Is outawed the law declares,
not the debt cancelled, but that the
creditor can no longer avail himself
of the law to collect it. The honor
and faith of the debtor are in no
wise discharged of the moral obi
cation TO pay, which even increas es
with the lapse of time. 1t has been
seriously proposed to do away en-.

ing debts, and there is much to be
said in favor of the plan. 1t would
